Journey back to Holyhead (few pics added)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Its time to return to porridge, so here is my return route which according to google should take 4 hours, but I am giving myself just over 6 hours. I have to be in Holyhead by 4.00 p.m. so i am setting off from Evesham around 9.30.


Here is my route:


A44 towards Worcester

A4538 around Worcester

A449 towards kidderminster

A458 towards Bridgnorth via Shrewsbury bypass

A5 all the way via Oswestry, LLangollen, Corwen, Betwsly-Coed

A55 to Holyhead.


Anyone free with nothing to do is more than welcome as I would appreciate the company and to get to know other members.


I ust admit that the weather does not seem to be perfect as tomorrow's forecast is for light rain.

Dude, if the weather is ok I'll ride out to Betws and meet you for the last leg back to Holyhead ? I'm on Anglesey.

That would be great. The forecast is for light showers so here's hoping.

Hi,


Got in about an hour ago. Horrendous weather in Wales, especially after BetwsCoed (sp?). Heavy rain then terrible winds. Sometimes I wondered if I should stop.


Anyway, got the ferry to Dublin and hit wind again. Further up north when it started to get dark it started raining heavy which was a bummer.


All in all, certainly not a day for a ride if it could be avoided. But this time I met quite a few bikers who were taking the ferry to Dublin. A group of 5 Goldwing riders, another chappie that was over on a Kwak for the weekend, about 15 Poles with different bikes, a couple of KTMs (man and a woman) and a few others, so there were about 30 bikes in total.


At least it was an experience. :wink:

Glad you're home safe and sound... sounds like hell of a journey!

Some pics. Not very interesting except the vintage cars were nice. I passed them on the way then watched them come in. The Morris aparantly can do a maximum speed of 30 mph :)
